.when the headlight switch is ON.
.when the shift lever is in any position
other than P (Park) or R (Reverse).

MPH (5 km/h) for the left-side head-
light. Note that the right-side low beam
headlight will swivel but the left-side
headlight will not swivel when the vehicle
is below 3 MPH (5 km/h) and the
steering wheel is turned.
AFS will also adjust the headlight to a proper
axis automatically, depending on the number
of occupants in the vehicle, the load the
vehicle is carrying and the road conditions.
If the AFS warning appears in the vehicle
information display after the ignition switch
has been pushed to the ON position, this
may indicate that the AFS is not functioning
properly. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailerfor this service. When the engine is started,
